The White House is sticking by its line that President Donald Trump was respectful during his conversation with the widow of a fallen soldier, whose mother told The Washington Post that she felt “disrespected” by Trump’s remarks.
During the White House press briefing Friday, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said it was “unfortunate” if the family “misunderstood.”
“Certainly if the spirit of which those comments were intended was misunderstood, that’s very unfortunate. As the President has said, as General Kelly has said, who I think has a very deep understanding of what that individual would be going through, his comments were very sympathetic, very respectful,” Sanders said. “And that was the spirit in which the President intended them. If they were taken in any other way, that’s certainly an unfortunate thing.”
The comments follow a week-long firestorm that Trump started on Monday when he was asked about the deaths of four U.S. troops in Niger nearly two weeks ago. Trump claimed that “Obama and other presidents, most of them didn’t make calls, a lot of them didn’t make calls,” which was met with widespread condemnation from former Obama aides.

WH Says 'Highly Inappropriate' For Reporter To Question 'Marine General'
By MATT SHUHAM Published OCTOBER 20, 2017 2:46 PM
The White House on Friday told a journalist who asked about errors chief of staff John Kelly made Thursday that it would be “highly inappropriate” to “get into a debate with a four-star Marine general.”
The militaristic language, used to refer to a civilian position in the White House, came when the reporter pointed out that Kelly had inaccurately accused a congresswoman of claiming credit for securing funding for an FBI building in Miramar, Florida in 2015.

The reporter pressed: Would Kelly respond to reporting on his inaccurate statement?
“I think he’s addressed that pretty thoroughly yesterday,” Sanders said.
“He was wrong yesterday in talking about getting the money,” the reporter countered.
“If you want to go after Gen. Kelly, that’s up to you,” Sanders said. “But I think that, if you want to get into a debate with a four-star Marine general, I think that that’s something highly inappropriate.”

It's REALITY though, and what tRumputin and his "GOOD PEOPLE" did and said wasn't nice either.
Here are tRumputin's "GOOD PEOPLE."
Some of tRumputin's "GOOD PEOPLE'S" work on Deandre Harris.
NOT NICE 
he's the real victim here. It's all the widow's fault.
